However also being an avid outdoorsman he has found them to be less than ideal as field utility blades. So he set out to make a knife that could combine those disciplines and decided to call it the C.U.T. 4.0 (Combat Utility Tool). It is a combative ring-knife with a utility style blade for field use. The curved handle and ring of a karambit provide superior comfort during combative use and a traditional drop point blade profile is ideal in the field. The aggressive tip provides for maximum penetration during combat allowing the C.U.T. 4.0 to penetrate body armor and heavy clothing much easier while also being useful for drilling chores during fieldcraft tasks. The C.U.T. 4.0 was designed with professional personnel in mind but will also make a great EDC for civilians and martial artists who like the diversity of a dual purpose knife.
